### Citlalli Hernández Commits to Ensuring No Woman is Left Unprotected
The President-elect of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, has announced plans to elevate the National Institute of Women into a full-fledged government department, appointing Citlalli Hernández Mora as its head.
In a press conference on August 19, Sheinbaum Pardo emphasized that the decision was made after considerable deliberation with colleagues and the current head of the institute, Nadine Gasman Zilbermann.
She praised Hernández for her background as a feminist activist and her specialized education in Journalism from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Furthermore, Hernández has been a prominent member of Morena and a participant in the 2012 Yo Soy 132 movement.
Highlighting her public service record, Sheinbaum stated that Hernández has served both as a Senator and a local Deputy, focusing on human rights, gender equality, and civic engagement. Hernández has also proposed several initiatives addressing caregiving systems, violence against women, and the ban on conversion therapies, supporting women’s, LGBTQIA+, and youth causes.
During the 2023-2024 electoral process, Hernández coordinated alliances and coalitions for Plan C and managed the women’s agenda in Sheinbaum’s campaign team.
As the new Secretary of Women, Hernández aims to ensure improved life conditions, equality, and discrimination-free experiences for future generations. She underscored the significance of the new department in materializing these goals, aligning with Sheinbaum’s campaign commitments to a gender-inclusive governance model. Hernández reaffirmed her mission to ensure no woman in Mexico is left without support and intends to distribute a women’s rights booklet nationwide.
